Very Rare and hard to find, 1920s Depose Nautilus Shell Light Clips set of three. All petals are intact, and the brass clips and in good condition for their age. Two of them have the depose name engraved, and one does not. They all three do match, though. This is your chance to own a small piece of designer history. You better get them now before they’re gone. Once they are, you will be hard pressed to find them again. I dare you to try to find them elsewhere.
